Haiti Solidarity BC and other supporting groups will bring the
campaign for a free and sovereign Haiti to the all-candidates meeting
in Kingsway riding this Tuesday. Our purpose is to give a voice to
the people of Haiti in their struggle for democracy and against the
foreign-sponsored coup and sham elections.
In particular, we will be asking the Minister of Industry David
Emerson, Liberal candidate in Kingsway riding, why his government
sponsored and helped organize the overthrow of the elected and
constitutional government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in
February 2004.
The human rights situation in Haiti since the coup is a disaster. So
is everything else. A national election to be organized by the
occupying powers in Haiti has been postponed for a fourth (!) time.
On January 7, the head of the United Nations military force committed
suicide in Port au Prince rather than accept the pressure to carry
out more bloody attacks on supporters of President Aristide. We say,
ENOUGH!
For justice and democracy in Haiti!
Yes to free elections, no to sham elections!
End the repression of popular forces, free all political prisoners!
Free Father Gerard Jean-Juste!
Canada, US, United Nations: Out of Haiti now!
